That's true, but memory safety isn't a big problem in C++ if one 
sticks to what one can do in @safe code. Using gsl::span you get 
the same stuff as in D for slicing etc.

In my experience memory issues in C++ often comes from casting 
through pointers  (which often is necessary for performance 
reasons) and having typos in pointer-offsets.
